#AAP2022 had nothing about gatekeeping access to powerful controlled substances with irreversible effects, it was all affirmation and celebration.
#Tweetiatricians please read:
Our last speaker @moladinsky runs the gender clinic at the University of Alabama. She just described a suicide as “boldly stepping in front of a truck.” She repeated the word boldly.
I, I can’t even. . .
Glorifying suicide is unprofessional and dangerous.
As pediatricians, we’ve forgotten what we’ve been taught about childhood development. We’ve forgotten what we’ve been taught about suicide prevention.
We’re ignoring what our colleagues in Sweden & Finland & the United Kingdom have realized.
We’re concretizing gender ideation.
Yesterday I attended an excellent seminar on suicide prevention by @drlisamhorowitz
She was shocked to hear that professionals are telling parents, in front of their kids, that their child is likely to kill themselves if not affirmed in their gender ideation.
Here’s my iPhone video of Dr. Ladinsky glorifying suicide in a 16 year old. In case you were thinking I misunderstood.
